Re: can't open/find workrave window

When workrave is running, it sits in the notification area (assuming 
you're using Gnome. KDE should have something similar). The notification 
area is typically located in the top-right corner of your screen, near 
the time/date

Depending on your workrave configuration, it will either look like an 
icon of a sheep, or an icon of a raised hand next to a 
progress-bar-with-numbers-in-it thingy.

Either way, right click it to open the menu, and choose your favorite 
item, for example "open" to get the small window back. (Sorry, it cannot 
yet be made bigger)

Please let me know if this was of any help.

Groetjes,

Kees-Jan
